Organizers Live Nation canceled last year’s festival without explanation, although city officials blamed Georgia’s expanded gun laws, which allow firearms in public spaces like Piedmont Park.
A number of other high-profile music festivals subsequently canceled (Candler Park Music Festival) or downscaled to private property (Sweetwater 420 Fest) without specifically putting the blame on guns.
On the other hand, several other big music festivals held in public spaces, including the recent Shaky Knees Festival, continued without incident. Shaky Knees specifically banned all weapons from Central Park without any kind of legal challenge from gun rights activists.
